Julian Nagelsmann will have to do without his star striker Niclas Füllkrug in the Nations League match against the Netherlands on Tuesday evening. The West Ham professional is out with an irritation to his Achilles tendon.

Füllkrug had already complained of pain in his calf after the 5-0 win over Hungary, and on Monday the goalscorer had to pull out of team training after a quarter of an hour. 

And the pain did not ease overnight either, meaning Füllkrug is condemned to watch on. Kai Havertz, who was already in Nagelsmann's starting eleven at the European Championship, will probably replace the 31-year-old.
